To the left, always small shops selling clothing. How they
survive, Martin cannot figure out. This one is just outside his hotel.
To the right, back at the dentist's office, Martin always get fascinated by
excavating by hand. In April 2008, they may be finished. Martin will check. |

|
They are getting there. They found the old
concrete foundation of the old building tore down. |
|
|
In the Pinto's office, the Christmas tree is still
glittering with fiber optics. Martin wants one. Martin's
ugly mug before the front tooth comes on. The new bridgework can hardly be
seen. But it's there. |
|
|
On the road to Coco beach, a lovely beach where you can swim
a lot. Very little waves. Martin swam 2000 meters this day.
The flee ridden dogs are all over the place. Why don't they sere dog meat as
a delicatessen as the Chinese do? |
|
|
Martin and Suren having a laugh in the shack before some
serious tanning. The temperature in the shade was a hefty 40
degree Centigrade. But because of the breeze from the sea, it didn't feel
that hot at all. Great. |
|
|
Martin with his much sought after thermometer. Ali is
getting it at the end. Suren is watching the lunch catch. |
|
|
Even the tourist is giving a helping hand, but the the catch
was basically rubbish thrown into the sea by everyone. Why they don't clean
up their act is a mystery.
In the sun, the temperature was some 50 degrees plus.
That's hot, but because of the breeze from the sea, it doesn't feel that hot
at all. But back at the hotel, you notice your face got it. After sun lotion
is a must. |
|
|
Coco beach got new mattresses for all the beds. Nice and
clean. Cops always pester small time business men. And
demanding bribes. That's a shame. Here you see some of the bribe takers. The
shop owners has no option. They have to pay. |
|
|
On the way back, Martin spotted these fish nets used at the
beach. Close to Martin's hotel, this sign came up. But does
it helps? |
|
|
Building sites always fascinates Martin. This is one very
close to his hotel. |
